Portugal take on the visitors Ghana in the round 1 match of group stage of FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Thursday, November 24th at Stadium 974 (Doha).
Portugal go to Ronaldo's last World Cup. The Chosen Ones have been a team pulled by Cristiano for the last 10+ years. Suffice it to say that he is the all-time leading scorer for national teams and can only improve on his own records. Now he really needs it, because after a scandalous interview at Manchester United, his contract with the club is terminated. He needs to "sell" yourself with a quality football in Qatar, realizing that the next contract will be the last one. And in general, the team should remind of itself. Having won the Euro-2016, they did not shine either at the last World Cup or in the summer of 2021, at the continental championship.

Ghana are back at the World Cup. The Black Stars were at the world championships from 2006 to 2014, and in South Africa in 2010 they didn’t even have enough to get into the semi-finals - their undisputed leader, Asamoah Gyan, who ruined the penalty kick, became an anti-hero. But this team flew past the "Russian" championship. Moreover, even now it was not particularly impressive after all. What is the failure at CAN in the winter, with a defeat not only from Morocco, but also from the debutant, the Comoros, and a draw with Gabon, because of which one of the favorites went home after the group stage? Moreover, it was not possible to win in the play-offs. But at home it was 0-0, and in Nigeria - 1-1, and that was enough, because in FIFA, unlike UEFA, they did not cancel the away goal advantage rule. On the other hand, we should not put an end to the team with footballers Aya, Amarti, Lampty, Party and which naturalized Inaki Williams for the tournament.
In 2014, the parties already crossed paths at the World Cup. Portugal were slightly stronger back then, managing to win 2-1 thanks to a decisive goal from Ronaldo in the 80th minute. It is quite possible that history will repeat itself, and the Portuguese will win again. But it seems that they clearly underestimate Ghana. It is worth considering betting on the victory of the representative of Africa against the background of "+1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Ghana to win with +1.5 handicap.
